Chapter 51: 51

51 – A Graceful (?) Morning in the Life of the Demon King Army’s Chief of Staff

It has been two weeks since Fenix’s party was repelled.

While I am the Floor Boss of the tenth stratum, I am also officially the Chief of Staff which comes with things that fall under my professional duties like planning battle strategies.

I guess you could say that I have been living a full life.

Cashew, my hardworking dog-eared secretary, continues to be adorable, and I have been getting along with my sleep buddy, the beautiful Vampire Milla.

After witnessing my repelling of Fenix’s party, I feel like I might have a chance to network and deepen my relationships with the people who doubted my abilities and reserved their attitude towards me.

The Monsters from the first to the fourth stratum all felt my Black Magic first-hand so they know, but the Monsters from the fifth stratum and below didn’t. So it was impossible for them to immediately accept that a Human, out of all potential choices, was suddenly promoted to the position of Chief of Staff.

Recently, I have talked with a variety of people, regardless of which stratum they are from.

Now then, since I have been officially recognized as the Demon King Army’s Chief of Staff, I have been allowed to live in the staff quarters.

Different buildings have been prepared for each race and I have been placed in the one that was prepared for Majins.

Majin’s are basically identical to Humans save for their horns, so their buildings are identical to Human ones too.

It would be quite different if it were a Mermaid or Birdmen dwelling.

Back when I was an Adventurer, I didn’t have any assigned dwellings or anything like that, so it’s a rather strange feeling to now have a place to call my own.

Among Adventurers, there are those who have built their own mansion, but as long as they’re an Adventurer, your fancy mansion might as well be your vacation home.

It’s a job that requires you to go from place to place while diving into Dungeons. So it’s difficult to settle down in one place.

The sense of security or stability of being settled in one place. I was enjoying it.

A day in my life naturally starts with me getting out of bed.

◇

My consciousness reconnects with reality. I’m half asleep and vacantly lying in bed.

Even so, I cancel and regulate the Black Magic that I applied on myself.

The mattress is soft and fluffy and the sheets are smooth. The futon is fluffy and light, and it feels nice and warm being all wrapped up in it.

「Nn…」

I’m hugging something.

Is it a pillow? Or maybe a half-rolled up futon?

It’s supple, warm, and feels amazing.

It’s soft to the touch.

「…mm…nn…」

That something makes a strained moan.

With a rustling sound, something tickles my face.

Yet it smells great.

I rub my face against it, and it jolts.

「Le-Lem, don’…t…」

……………………….

It’s fine if it was a pillow or futon, but since when could they speak?

Also, since when did they have body heat and a heartbeat?

When did they grow hair and have two round protrusions?

Protrusions that feel…amazing to hold…?

While still wishing that my rapidly fading sleepiness would allow me to continue sleeping, I assess the situation with my fully awake consciousness.

I’m here, in the bedroom of my apartment. On top of my bed.

Sleeping on said bed was me, and the blond, crimson-eyed, and beautiful Vampire.

My clothes…are still on. Good. She isn’t naked either.

So then, what am I doing currently?

I was hugging Milla like a pillow.

Nooooot good. Very not good.

I leap away from her.

「F-f-f-forgive me, Milla!」

I get up in a panic and immediately apologize.

Milla was…wearing my robe for some reason. And nothing else…

The sight of her wearing my Black Sorcerer robe with nothing underneath was an unparalleled novelty.

I did not make her wear it.

「Good morning, Lem. My, aren’t you vigorous so early in the day.」

Milla giggles and smiles, one hand covering the front of the robe that barely hides anything and the other tucking her hair behind her ear.

Such…stimulating movements got me a little excited, but I controlled myself. Now is not the time for that.

「I’m really sorry…」

「You were simply half-asleep, yes? It’s quite alright, it was just an accident.」

She smiles like a Motherly Goddess. O benevolent Milla.

「It seems like you have been sleeping well, I am glad.」

This all started on the day my blood was sucked by Milla.

That’s when we became sleep buddies.

It’s a strange relationship where we are closer than friends, but not lovers either.

We met two years ago, but we only truly got to talking and getting to know each other for only a few days at that time. It would have been hasty to take the relationship to the next level so soon.

Ever since I started living in the staff quarters, the time that I spend together with Milla has drastically increased.

That is to say, like this. In my apartment.

At first, she just wanted to come along while I did my grocery shopping, but then she wanted to treat me to her cooking and then later got drunk on beer. I couldn’t let her go home like that, so I offered her my bed.

I was gonna sleep on the floor, but she said we were sleep buddies so it’s not a problem, and forced me to sleep on the bed with her.

Ever since that day, she has been coming to my place almost every day.

Honestly, I don’t have any life skills so Milla has been extremely helpful. It’s fun when she’s around and while it might be bad for my poor heart, I’ve recently been able to talk with her more naturally.

Although I have noticed that more and more of her personal belongings are left in my apartment as the days go by. She also shows me her vulnerable side sometimes, and she often wears my clothes as she pleases, for some reason.

Our relationship should be deepening steadily.

However…

As the word「buddies」suggests, we are not lovers.

「I’ve noticed too. Lately, my sleep has been somewhat deeper…Perhaps because of how comfortable it is.」

「Indeed, so please don’t worry. Besides…」

She puts one hand on the bed.

The mattress sinks slowly as she moves closer.

Her face comes close to mine. Her golden locks falling smoothly.

「If I did not like being touched, I would not be sleeping together with you.」

She says while breathing out a long sigh and giving a bewitching smile.

「And I believe…even you feel the same.」

「That…」

Before I could say anything, she placed her white, delicate finger on my lips to stop me.

「And for that purpose, I must entice Lem to assault me with love rather than lust.」

Saying that, she pulls away.

「Let us make breakfast. Operation Through his Stomach continues today as well.」

This time, she gives a smile like that of a sweet maiden.

She truly is a woman of many faces, and the troubling thing is that I find every one of them charming.

A hero never loses in battle, but somehow I feel like I keep losing to her.

At any rate, this is how the morning starts for the Demon King Army’s Chief of Staff.

There was a small incident, but my new everyday life begins like this, waking up next to Milla.
